Very nice, I've been trying to snaffle one of these from my friend for a few years now, but he won't do the right thing and surrender. These Mosquefal shoot very well with F4/M80 ammo. If your friend is interested Lawrance Ordnance have the correct bayonet at a reasonable price, thanks for sharing.

Guys I am so jealous!!!

This pure badass beauty was on my list since I arrived in Australia almost 3 years ago, and I have only ever seen one for sale! (I was not fast enough sadly).
Ultimately I have given up and its spot in the safe was taken by another rifle.

So now I demand a full report, like how is it shooting-wise etc...
Is the rear peep sight windage adjustable by the way?

And where did your friend find it?

Cheers
Vince

These are excellent photos! Where is this rifle from? The crest on the receiver? what country..please?
Someone here mentioned Lawrance Ordnance. Good. Glad they did. They are an excellent mob to deal with.

These are a conversion of the initial Brazilian Model 1908 Mauser made by DWM Germany. In 1934 the rifle was shortened and re-named M1908/34 Short Rifle, then in 1949 they were chambered for the 30-06 and re-named M949 (the 1 was dropped from the name) In 1954 the rifle was re-modeled, a threaded muzzle with a G43 style flash suppressor or grenade launcher, as well as new rifles being made at the Brazilian State Arsenal at Itajuba. In 1968 the rifles were further modified by re-barreling to 7.62NATO, an FN FAL style flash hider, and a G3 style rear sight. Simon has original bayonets for this model.
